This paper recounts the internship experience carried out at Ascom Servizi Padova S.p.A., a service company supporting businesses in the Padova area, within the Confcommercio association framework. After a description of the organization and its evolution, the analysis focuses on the competitive environment in which it operates—characterized by high competitive pressure and a fragmented market, where relational skills and territorial proximity represent a distinctive advantage.

L’elaborato ripercorre l’esperienza di tirocinio svolta presso Ascom Servizi Padova S.p.A., società di servizi a supporto delle imprese del territorio padovano, con particolare attenzione al contesto associativo di Confcommercio. Dopo una descrizione dell’organizzazione e della sua evoluzione, viene analizzato il contesto competitivo in cui opera, caratterizzato da un’elevata pressione concorrenziale e da un mercato frammentato, in cui le competenze relazionali e la prossimità territoriale rappresentano un vantaggio distintivo. Il tirocinio ha offerto l’opportunità di osservare da vicino le dinamiche organizzative e di contribuire a un nuovo servizio di consulenza rivolto alle imprese in difficoltà economico-finanziaria. L’ultima sezione approfondisce, in chiave teorica, il confronto tra i modelli di business High Margin Low Volume (Ferrari) e Low Margin High Volume (Renault), applicando modelli economici (Kotler, Maslow, elasticità della domanda) e indicatori di bilancio (ROI, ROE, ROS, ROT) per valutarne la sostenibilità. L’analisi evidenzia come la differente percezione di valore e il posizionamento strategico influenzino le performance economico-finanziarie, offrendo spunti critici per comprendere l’equilibrio tra marginalità, volumi e posizionamento competitivo.

Abstract
This paper recounts the internship experience carried out at Ascom Servizi Padova S.p.A., a service company supporting businesses in the Padova area, within the Confcommercio association framework. After a description of the organization and its evolution, the analysis focuses on the competitive environment in which it operates—characterized by high competitive pressure and a fragmented market, where relational skills and territorial proximity represent a distinctive advantage. The internship offered the opportunity to observe internal organizational dynamics and contribute to the development of a new consulting service aimed at companies facing economic and financial difficulties. The final section provides a theoretical comparison between the High Margin Low Volume (Ferrari) and Low Margin High Volume (Renault) business models, applying economic frameworks (Kotler, Maslow, demand elasticity) and financial performance indicators (ROI, ROE, ROS, ROT) to assess their sustainability. The analysis highlights how perceived value and strategic positioning influence economic and financial outcomes, offering critical insights into the balance between margins, volumes, and competitive positioning| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
